Abstract

A radio system operable to receive signals in a plurality of frequency bands includes a control module and an interface module whereby a user may store a plurality of presets from the bands. The interface module displays to the user a page of the presets for selection of a play frequency therefrom. The page includes frequencies from more than one band.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to radio systems, and more particularly to radio systems that simultaneously display preset channels from multiple bands. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Commercially available radio systems allow a user to tune and / or preset channels in a plurality of frequency bands such as AM, FM, weather band (WB), and satellite. As the tuning / preset options increase, it becomes difficult for a radio listener to quickly and easily select channels in different bands. When the user wants to preset channels in multiple frequency bands, the user selects the band and then presets the channel within the band. Likewise, to select a preset channel in a band, the user selects the band and then selects the preset channel. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention, in one embodiment, is directed to a radio system that receives signals in multiple frequency bands. The system includes a control module and an interface module...
